HT4847 how do i restore my iCloud backup photos from a previous iphone (3GS)

How do I retrieve a photo from a backup to iCloud from a previous phone (3GS)? My current phone is the 4S. I can see both phones backed up on the Cloud from my current phone. (The old one had an accident and is no longer working.)

How do I delete the iCloud back up from your previous iPhone that was used to restore my new iPhone?

My phone was replaced yesterday by the apple store. I restored my data from my old phone onto my new phone. Now I am receiving alerts from iCloud that I do not have enough memory to back up my new phone. I noticed that I have the old iPhone , my iPad, and this iPhone. When I try to delete my old profile, the system does not allow it as it is currently in use. As a result, I cannot back up my new iPhone due to not enough memory. Is there a way to delete the old profile?

Hi Cynatalya!
Here is an article that can help you manage your iCloud storage:
iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Specifically, this section addresses your exact question:
Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your iOS device in the Backups area.
Tap Delete Backup.
You will be asked to confirm this change. Deleting this backup will also turn off Backup of your iOS device. Choose Delete if you want to turn off Backup and remove all backups for this iOS device from iCloud.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

When you switch to iTunes backups, the device will start to make any further backups to iTunes on your computer. It will only do this when it is connected to iTunes and a power source. (If it is set to sync/backup wirelessly, it will only do so when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network)
When you switch back to iCloud backups, it will basically resume where it left off and start to back up once again to iCloud. There is no moving of backup files between iTunes and the cloud when you switch between backup options.

HT4859 How do I restore all apps and photos from I cloud on to a new iPhone

I can't find away to restore all my iPhone data for my iPhone. How do you download all my data???

Restore to your iCloud backup when given the option when you set up the phone. If it's already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How to transfer photos from PC to iPhone 3gs ?

how to transfer photos fromPC to iphone using iTunes ?

When you've connected the iPhone to your computer and selected it on the left-hand side of iTunes, one of the tabs on the right-hand side should be Photos (in the same way that you get tabs for syncing other content) - if you select that you should be able to select where you want to sync photos from e.g. which folder(s) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You need to sync all the photos that you want on the phone together in one go, as only the most recent sync remains on the phone - not including the photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the phone.

There must be a way to remove the photos under "Places" on my iPhone.

HT4847 How can I delete an iCloud backup of a device that has been wiped and sold?

I have wiped my old iPhone and it has already been repurposed. How can I delete its backup from iCloud now?

You'll probably have to get help from Apple on that. If you have an iPhone 5 and are within your 90-day free phone support window, get ahold of iCloud support and see if they can fix this at their end: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

How do I restore Time Machine backup files (from TC) to an external HD?

I did a full Time Machine backup of my machine to a Time Capsule. All told, around 500GB. The MBP to which I'd like to transfer the files doesn't have a big enough hard drive. However, I do have a 1TB External HD that I could use. Can I use Time Machine or Migration Assistant to move/access the files? I'm using Lion.

See: Mac 101- Time Machine, Time Machine - 101 Tutorial, Pondini's Time Machine FAQ - All You Need for Time Machine, and Pondini's Time Machine FAQ.

How do I restore only a few photos from iphoto using time machine?

I have about 100 photos that have become corrupt and I need to restore from time machine. When I try to restore the iphoto library, it says it cannot restore because library is too big. How can I get back only the few photos that are corrupt?
Thanks!
Dorothy

Please expain what you mean by 100 photos becoming corrupt? That is extremely unlikely - it is much more likely that you have a corrupted library
Probably rebuilding your iPhoto library is the solution but with no information about what you have or what is going on that is only a wild guess
For iPhoto '11 Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database and see if that resolves things

Can I restore un-Backed up photos from a disabled iphone 4S?

Someone played with my husband's phone and set a password, he tried to guess it all day, and ended up disabling it. He went to the ATT store and the Apple Store for help, we learned that we can easily restore it, but we will lose anything not backed up onto a computer (in our case this is a LOT of important photos) We would really like to access the unsaved photos before the phone is wiped clean. Our old computer was a 2005 imac that never had a new enough itunes version to sync with the iphone 4, so we would connect it like a digital camera. About two months ago the computer broke, so we have not uploaded the photos in awhile. As of this week, we have a new computer, but we hadnt synced the phone yet (and can't now since the phone is locked now).
I went to an article called "iOS: Device disabled after entering wrong passcode" at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I read this:
If you have previously synced your device with itunes:
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with itunes:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
He had synced his phone one time with a friends computer just so he had some music on it. Since the friend is coming in town for Christmas we are hoping to connect to his laptop and see if it is not too late to back it up before we restore it. The only downside is that he will have to go without the phone until his friend.
Has anyone had experience with this? I cannot find a single post about someome doing this. I've seen posters suggest using Image Capture, but again, I can't find comfirmation that it has been done. And it doesn't seem to work for me. We have a lot of pictures of our kids that we have not backed up and would love to salvage them! Thanks!

Update: He connected his iphone to his friends laptop (the last/only computer it had ever been synced with) it allowed him to do a back up.... AND ..after a few minutes the phone allowed him to start guessing the password again. This was welcome news since in the time between him guessing the password too many times and that point he had learned the password.
We thought the back up might work since it said it might in the apple support article above, but were very surprised it allowed him to guess the password again. Pictures saved AND notes, contacts,..

How do i put photos from a previous iphone in order with current photos on new iphone

I backed up all the pictures from my iphone3s to my computer and when i moved them to my new iphone4s they were all out of order. I would like to combine the new pictures I have since taken on my 4s with my pictures from my 3s and have them in chronological order. is there a way to do this?

If the pictures are in your Camera Roll album, just tap the picture to bring up the menu and then tap the trash can.
If the pictures are in your Photo Library album, you have to remove the pictures from the folder on your computer that you're syncing your iPhone to, then re-sync the iPhone.
